Golden Shears 2005

Inspired by detailing of historical costume and fine bone corsetry.

Studying construction and panelling of stage corset from Royal Shakespeare Company, Cutting corset into tailcoat, using elements from traditional Savile Row riding and hunting attire techniques. Mood boards contain images of 1930’s burlesque, androgyny, Blonde Venus and Marlene Dietrich.

In 2005 won both Gold and Silver Awards at the prestigious Merchant Taylor’s Golden Shears competition
